configure:3267: checking for C compiler default output file
name
configure:3289: gcc -g   conftest.c -lposix >&5
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lposix
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure:3293: $? = 1
configure:3331: result:


Looks to me like it can't find the correct 'posix' header files... ld(1) is 
failing on that.

Is there a lib called 'libposix' something?

configure:3338: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details./

When header files are missing.. linker can't find the apt libraries to link to 
the executable.. and hence, compilation fails..

you could try searching for the posix libs that the package requires.. maybe 
read the INSTALL file..

or aptitude search ~nlib ~nposix

Cheerio,

first sorry for being late to reply.
actually it was my mistake that is i didnt read the install file fully sorry.
i was giving this cmd:./configure CC=c99 CFLAGS=-g LIBS=-lposix
instead of this : ./configure
i am really sorry.

Now i landed on another one...
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables PANEL_CFLAGS
and PANEL_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

same thing i got when i was install firefox latest in Debian-etch.
any help please...
